I felt Super Meet Boy vibes because of failing tens of times at the first try :)) But after more practice I've found how elegant the design around so fragile bubble. I mean this bubble is inside a steam machine, and it's fragile, but at the same time bubbles are the most dangerous thing for steam machines because they make them explode. I like how it plays!
Wish you the best of luck!
Nice work for a jam, continue.
Great entry! Was a joy to play :D
Great job
And yeah, there's a lack of tutorial that i wanted to put in start of level, but there was some technical issues with game that I completely forgot about it :sweat_smile:
It took me a while to realize that right click transforms you. Maybe I missed the instruction. Great choice of sound! Once I figured out the controls playing through the level felt sort of meditative. You were very generous with checkpoints as well, which I appreciated.
One potential bug: your description says "Fixed game end screen", but when I escaped the level there was no end screen. I just floated away into the infinite void, listening to the sound of the waves...
I've added controls description onto game page
Also, this bug is really strange, but i think it looks interesting :D
I don't really know what's the reason for this behavior - my changes was made to fix automatic close of end screen :D
One issue I had was the end: Once I turned the fans off I headed up, saw a dead end above me, so went back south and through the other off fan. From there I escaped the level into "open ocean", and got lost. It took me a long time to realize you have to bump into the dead end. There's no indication unless I missed something telling you that's what you need to do. It was especially tough to figure out in a game where you spend most of your time purposefully not bumping into things, and by the fact that there seems to be an actual way out to the left.
Overall great entry, keep up the good work!
I also loved the simple art style and soothing music. Good job!
